Don't believe I've heard a Death Metal band from Canada before. Good start anyway, very sort of prog metal in its approach though the vocals are definitely DM. Kind of a military feel to this, not that surprising as it's called “The Rise of Hannibal” and seems to follow a historic tradition that at least the titles of their previous albums shared, one about Caligula and one about Romulus. Now I read further, the whole project appears to be centred on the history of the Roman Empire. This could be very interesting. It's very well put together, and the instrumental “Suavetaurilla/Intermezzo” sounds more like something off a Power Metal album to be honest. For all that though, definitely one of the top DM albums I've ever heard. Total quality.

Check out more from this artist? Oh yes
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes

Expectation Index: 10
